GTRI Calls for Strengthened Food Safety Before India-EU Trade Agreement Implementation
The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) urges India to strengthen its food safety system ahead of the India-EU free trade agreement (FTA) expected to take effect next year. The report warns that without improvements, India risks increased access for European food products while facing export rejections in the EU. It recommends a modern, science-based, reciprocal framework including farm-to-port traceability, enhanced pesticide guidelines, accredited labs, and rigorous import inspections to protect consumers and support agricultural exports.
